[Can you imagine a web conference using all the official European languages, and their versions of the language of aviation]
Yes, I can - but there is no need. The International language of aviation is still English - and I have been sent a new bit of licence telling me that I speak it sufficiently well to get by. No doubt all other pilots in Europe will have received something similar, albeit with better grades of fluency.
In the scheduled event, what will they be doing? Presenting in 27 languages?
[Nothing beats eye to eye contact]
Sure - especially when you can see the whites of their eyes. But it's a bit late for that.
[and even better, discussions over a litre or two of German beer afterwards.]
I don't drink the stuff. Pointless drunken yack most likely. It's a done deed isn't it? What is there left to discuss?
[There have been shed loads of disinformation on EASA and part M on this and other forums. So now's the chance to get the real info from the horses mouth.]
Surely any speculation has been due to the failure of good communication from EASA, the press and organisations such as the LAA, BMAA etc.. A presentation in Cologne to a select few isn't going to help thousands of private pilots all over Europe. Much like being invited to attend a vogon constructor fleet convention on the moon. Few people might make it, but it won't help Arthur Dent.
